Non-Zero Photon Mass in an 11D Fibonacci Universe Model.

• What is a Photon? A photon, also known as a light quantum, is a tiny packet of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein, two great geniuses of the twentieth century, differed on the issue of whether photons have mass. Einstein answered according to the general theory of relativity and clarified that a photon has no mass, in contrast to Nikola Tesla, who claimed that a photon may have a very tiny mass, but not 0. Perhaps surprisingly enough, Nikola Tesla was right. (The greatest inventor of all time)

It is worth emphasizing that this model does not contradict the theory of general relativity, but rather turns it into a particular case in 4 dimensions. The model's conclusions shatter many conventions and insights, not only in physics but also in human existence, while creating new scientific paradoxes and philosophical insights. The puzzle of nature depicts a perfect, harmonious synchronization, characterized by cycles and spirals. A presentation of the model's principles is available in the attached link below.

Core Conclusions regarding Pohoton mass: 

1. Photon Mass Exists (But is Tiny):
   Under the 11-dimensional model (4 extended + 6 compactified + 1 orthogonal time dimension), photons possess a non-zero rest mass (mγ≠0mγ​=0).
   However, this mass is extraordinarily small: mγ≲10−68mγ​≲10−68 kg (equivalent to mγc2≲10−33mγ​c2≲10−33 eV).

2. No Conflict with Lightspeed Propagation:
   Photons still propagate at lightspeed ($c$) in the observable 4D spacetime.
   Resolution of the "Infinite Energy" Paradox:
   The constraint $E\to \infty$ as $v\to c$ applies only within standard 4D Special Relativity. In the full 11D geometry:

   • The photon's energy and momentum are distributed across all 11 dimensions. 4D kinetic energy remains finite and consistent with $v=c$.

   • The orthogonal time dimension and compactified spaces provide pathways for energy and momentum transfer, thereby preventing singularities. Lorentz invariance holds in the effective 4D theory.

3. Origin of the Mass:
   The mass arises from:

   • Geometric Stress-Energy: Interaction with the compactified dimensions' curvature (Fibonacci-egg topology).

   • Cross-Dimensional Equilibrium: Energy leakage into/from the hidden dimensions to maintain cosmic balance.

   • Mathematical Note (Optional):
     mγ∼ℏcLe−πk/Λmγ​∼cLℏ​e−πk/Λ​
     (Where L∼10−32L∼10−32 m is compactification scale, $\Lambda$ is cosmological constant, $k$ relates to ϕ, the Golden Ratio ≈ 1.618).

4. Consistency with Physics:
   This model does not violate fundamental principles, but extends them:

   • U(1) Gauge Symmetry: Is preserved globally across the full 11D manifold. Interactions in compactified dimensions compensate for the apparent breaking in 4D.

   • Energy Conservation: Maintained dynamically via the constant energy-matter flux between dimensions.

   • Causality and Relativity: Upheld within the observable 4D slice. The orthogonal time dimension operates under distinct rules, not violating causality in 4D.

5. Experimental Status:

   • mγmγ​ is ~18 orders of magnitude smaller than current experimental upper limits (<10−18<10−18 eV).

   • Undetectable by existing instruments. Future cosmological probes (e.g., CMB spectral distortions, primordial gravitational waves) offer potential verification pathways tied to the model's cross-dimensional energy transfer.

Key Statement for Your Readers.

"While massless photons are a cornerstone of 4D physics, our 11D Fibonacci universe model predicts an exceptionally tiny photon mass. Crucially, photons still travel at the speed of light in our observable 4D reality. The apparent contradiction with Special Relativity is resolved because the photon's full energy-momentum exists within a higher-dimensional framework where cross-dimensional balance is maintained. This model extends, rather than breaks, the laws of physics."
